  MISSION

Trinity Preschool is now registering students for the 2017-2018 school year.   If you know any families who have preschool age children and are looking for a preschool  please tell them about Trinity.  Invite them to contact the preschool teachers, Mrs. Brown or Mrs. Cook for more information.  The preschool  phone number is 782-5095 Ext. 2.

 

The Mission Board will be presenting Christian Peanut’s Valentines to each child at the Preschool on Monday and Tuesday mornings and Tuesday afternoon.   We have a variety of religious Valentine stickers that each child may choose from and there will also be a colored pencil to give each child as well.   We are looking forward to this fun time.     From The Mission Board.
